Worker Bees have been focusing on letter recognition and writing. They enjoyed searching the sand to find letters from their names, they then placed the letters onto their whiteboards and began to copy the letters writing their names. Well done Worker Bees

Some of our pre-school children enjoyed a frosty Forest School session!
First, they listened to the story Stick Man while enjoying a cup of hot chocolate.
Then with Mike & Fern, they looked closely at the ice and frost in the forest and later spoke about how the sun had come out and started to melt the ice/frost (just like the snowman in the Stick Man story!)
The children then enjoyed digging, making mud castles, playing games and finding a wriggly worm!
They finished the session off enjoying campfire pizzas and warm chocolate brioche for pudding that they helped to make!

Zahra’s group had a fun time learning about oral hygiene.
Each of the children was given large teeth that needed cleaning.
The children were very excited to each have a toothbrush & independently applied toothpaste to it!
The children were very focused on making sure that they cleaned the teeth as best as they could & talked about how they brush their teeth at home!

Today in forest school our pre-school children braved the wind & rain & got involved in caring for the environment as part of our eco-schools scheme.

The children participated in a litter picking walk through the forest & discussed how we should take care of the environment around us.

The children also enjoyed sitting around the camp fire to listen to the story ‘Seasons come, seasons go tree’ & afterwards discussed how the season has changed & it has become cold & windy & the trees have lost their leaves.

The children then ended their session with lunch around the campfire, today it was yummy hot dogs & chocolate crepes!
